7. Future prospects for assessment

Future progress will come from two sources: advances in the experimental field (more precise measurements, targeting discriminating observables) and in the theoretical field.

7.1 New/improved experimental data

Although modeling is playing an increasingly important role in assessment, experimental data are crucial for constraining model parameters and validating predictions. It is therefore essential to pursue the measurement effort in two directions:

  • precise and targeted measurements of important reactions, in order to fill gaps or answer questions about nuclei that are directly useful for applications;

  • reaction measurements to constrain/improve models. In most cases, these involve...
